Mater Soap

about the brand

MATER LIKE WATER (MA•TER \ˈmȯ-tər, ˈmä-\) Founded by Addison Walz in Brooklyn, NY, Mater Soap was born out of a dedication to utilitarian objects that quietly serve our daily lives, choosing materials and composing recipes that speak to the well being of the bather as well as the planet. Their products are enriched by thoughtful and deliberate ingredients with a conscious effort to minimize ecological impact. Keeping their batches small and handmade, they strive to perfect the simple yet subtle alchemy of soap-making and skin care. Their appreciation for the minimalist beauty of traditional bar soap and power of plant oils and extracts deeply inform their craft. Using 100% natural, sustainably-sourced plant ingredients like smoky pine tar, rose-colored kaolin clay, and salty sea plants, they provide the bather with products that nourish the body and mind, enhancing the bathing ritual. Vegan. Cruelty-free. No sls, parabens, synthetics or fragrances. Just plants.

why we love them

We appreciate the mission behind their craft, and the soap really does smell amazing! Kathrine's can't decide if she likes the mugwort or sea bar best.
